    We booked a table so we could watch the Superbowl while we were in New York and O’Donoghue’s didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent, great choice of menu, service amazing and the atmosphere simply great. We can totally recommend it when you’re visiting New York.

    The food was okay, definitely not worth the price. Our server struggled. We didn't ask for anything significant (club soda refills and water for the table). We only got one or the other. Parts of meals were missing. It was rough. Multiple other servers had to help. Not great.

    We never ate as after waiting almost 45 mutes iur food never came. We had theater tickets so we had to leave and ended up eating a hot dog and pretzel from a vendor. It was a very cold and windy day so we ate in the outer lobby of a GAP. What really made us more angry was that the table next to us who had arrived after us got their food and we still hadn’t. The waitress was rude. In the sense that she never really made eye contact with us or ever came over to ask us how we were doing. We were trying to get her attention, but it was not even possible. I was able to get the attention of the Manager, I guess l, and she checked for us and said the food would still be a few minutes. After those few minutes, we decided to leave. I left five dollars on the table for the soda that my son half finished.  We had been to this restaurant a few times before, but I’m not planning on returning

    Very good service. We arrived 30 mins early and were shown to our table anyway straightaway for Christmas Day lunch. Lovely meal, great value. Very efficient and friendly, we felt welcome but would just say a little rushed as dessert came before the main course dishes had been taken up. Otherwise very pleasant experience

    We had the lobster ravioli and sizzling steak. The ravioli had a tasty sauce, but not much lobster. Sizzling steak was underwhelming. Service was very attentive.
